Kwakuyimingcele ekusetshenzisweni kwe-styrofoam, ipulasitiki engasindi, eyingozi emvelweni, ukuthumela ifenisha e-Europe okwashukumisela u-Alvin Lim ukuba ashintshele ekufakweni okusimeme maphakathi nawo-2000.
“Kwakungu-2005, lapho ukukhishwa kwemisebenzi kudumile.Nganginamabhizinisi amaningana, elinye lawo elokukhiqiza ifenisha yemboni yemidlalo.Ngatshelwa ukuthi angikwazi ukuhlinzeka nge-styrofoam eYurophu, ngaphandle kwalokho kuzoba nezintela.Ngaqala ukufuna ezinye izindlela,” - kusho usomabhizinisi waseSingapore owasungula i-RyPax, inkampani eyenza ukupakishwa kwefayibha ebunjiwe ekwazi ukuphinda isetshenziswe, esebenzisa inhlanganisela yoqalo kanye nomoba.
Isinyathelo sakhe sokuqala esikhulu kwaba ukuguqula imboni yewayini yaseNapa Valley isuke ku-styrofoam iye kwi-fiber ebunjiwe e-United States.Ekuphakameni kwe-boom ye-wine club, i-RyPax yathumela izitsha zewayini ezingama-67 40ft kubakhiqizi bewayini.“Imboni yewayini ibifuna ukuqeda i-styrofoam - ayizange iyithande.Sabanikeza enye indlela ekahle, ehambisana nemvelo,” kusho uLim.
Impumelelo yangempela ebhizinisini lakhe yafika e-Pack Expo e-Las Vegas.“Sasithakasela kakhulu, kodwa kwakukhona umnumzane endaweni yethu owachitha imizuzu engu-15 ebheka imikhiqizo yethu.Bengimatasa nelinye ikhasimende ngakho labeka ikhadi lalo etafuleni lethu, lathi ‘ngishayele ngeviki elizayo’ lahamba.”Uyakhumbula uLim.
Ibhrendi enkulu yabathengi be-elekthronikhi esungulwe kakhulu, edume ngedizayini yayo ethambile kanye nemikhiqizo enembile, ibonisa isiko kanye nendlela ye-RyPax yokusimama.Njengoba nje i-RyPax isize amakhasimende ukuthi asuke epulasitikini aye ku-fiber ebunjiwe, amakhasimende agqugquzele i-RyPax ukuthi isebenzise amandla avuselelekayo ukuze isebenze.Ngaphezu kokutshala imali eyizigidi ezi-5 zamaphaneli elanga ophahleni lwesitshalo sayo, i-RyPax iphinde yatshala isigidi esingu-$1 ohlelweni lokuhlanza amanzi angcolile.
Kule ngxoxo, u-Lim ukhuluma ngokuqamba okusha ekwakhiweni kokupakisha, ubuthakathaka bomnotho oyindilinga wase-Asia, kanye nendlela yokuqinisekisa abathengi ukuthi bakhokhele kakhulu ukupakisha okusimeme.
Ikepisi le-fiber champagne elibunjiwe nguJames Cropper.Ilula futhi isebenzisa impahla encane.Isithombe: James Cropper
Isibonelo esihle imikhono yebhodlela le-fiber elibunjiwe.Uzakwethu wamasu, uJames Cropper, ukhiqiza ukupakishwa okungu-100% okusimeme kwamabhodlela e-champagne kanokusho.Idizayini yokupakisha inciphisa i-carbon footprint yokupakisha;wonga isikhala, alula, sebenzisa izinto ezimbalwa, futhi awudingi amabhokisi angaphandle abizayo.
Esinye isibonelo amabhodlela okuphuza amaphepha.Omunye umhlanganyeli wenza eyodwa kulayini wepulasitiki esebenzisa amaphepha amabili ahlanganiswe neglue eningi eshisayo (ngakho kwakunzima ukuwahlukanisa).
Amabhodlela ephepha nawo anezinkinga.Ingabe iyasebenza futhi ilungele ukukhiqizwa ngobuningi?I-RyPax ithathele lezi zinselele.Siyihlephule yaba izinyathelo.Okokuqala, sakha isistimu ye-airbag esebenzisa i-aluminium ekhishwa kalula noma amabhodlela epulasitiki amancane.Siyazi ukuthi lokhu akuyona inketho esebenzayo ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ngakho-ke isinyathelo esilandelayo esisithathayo ukwakha into eyodwa yomzimba webhodlela nge-coating ehlala njalo egcina uketshezi.Ekugcineni, inkampani yethu isebenza kanzima ukuqeda ngokuphelele ipulasitiki, okusiholele ekukhetheni okusha okubunjiwe kwe-fiber screw cap.
Imibono emihle iyavela embonini, kodwa ukwabelana ngolwazi kubalulekile.Yebo, inzuzo yezinkampani kanye nenzuzo yokuncintisana ibalulekile, kodwa ngokushesha imibono emihle isakazwa, kuba ngcono.Kudingeka sibheke isithombe esikhulu.Uma amabhodlela ephepha etholakala ngezinga elikhulu, inani elikhulu lepulasitiki lingasuswa ohlelweni.
Kunomehluko wemvelo ezimpahleni phakathi kwamapulasitiki nezinto ezisimeme ezithathwe emvelweni.Ngakho-ke, izinto ezihambisana nemvelo kwezinye izimo zisabiza kakhulu kunepulasitiki.Kodwa-ke, ubuchwepheshe bemishini nenqubekela phambili ithuthuka ngokushesha, ikhulisa ukusebenza kahle kwezindleko zokukhiqizwa ngobuningi bezinto ezihambisana nemvelo kanye nokupakishwa.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ohulumeni emhlabeni wonke babeka intela ekusetshenzisweni kwamapulasitiki, okuzokhuthaza izinkampani eziningi ukuba zishintshele emikhubeni eqhubekayo, enganciphisa izindleko zizonke.
Izinto eziningi ezisimeme zivela emvelweni futhi azinazo izakhiwo zepulasitiki noma zensimbi.Ngakho-ke, izinto ezithinta imvelo kwezinye izimo zisabiza kakhulu kunepulasitiki.Kodwa ubuchwepheshe buthuthuka ngokushesha, okungenzeka bunciphise izindleko zezinto ezikhiqizwa ngobuningi ezihambisana nemvelo.Uma amanani entengo efakwa kupulasitiki njengendlela yokulwa nokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki, kungaholela izinkampani ukuthi zishintshele ezintweni ezingawulungele imvelo.
Ipulasitiki egaywe kabusha ihlala ibiza kakhulu kune-virgin plastic ngenxa yezindleko zokugaywa kabusha, ukugaywa kabusha nokugaywa kabusha.Kwezinye izimo, iphepha eligaywe kabusha lingabiza kakhulu kunepulasitiki egaywe kabusha.Lapho izinto ezisimeme zingakala, noma lapho amakhasimende ezimisele ukwamukela izinguquko zedizayini, amanani angakhuphuka ngoba azinzile.
Iqala ngemfundo.Ukube abathengi bebeqaphela kakhulu umonakalo owenziwe yipulasitiki emhlabeni, bebengazimisela kakhulu ukukhokha izindleko zokudala umnotho oyindilinga.
Ngicabanga ukuthi izinkampani ezinkulu ezifana ne-Nike ne-Adidas zibhekana nalokhu ngokusebenzisa izinto ezigaywe kabusha emaphaketheni nasemikhiqizweni yazo.Umgomo uwukwenza kubukeke njengedizayini exutshiwe egaywe kabusha enemibala ehlukene.Uzakwethu u-James Cropper uguqula izinkomishi zekhofi ezithengwayo zibe amaphakheji aphambili, izikhwama ezigaywa kabusha namakhadi emikhonzo.Manje sekunokuphushwa okukhulu kwepulasitiki yasolwandle.I-Logitech isanda kukhipha i-marine plastic optical computer mouse.Uma inkampani yehla ngaleyo ndlela futhi okuqukethwe okugaywe kabusha kwamukeleka kakhulu, kusho ukuthi indaba yobuhle.Ezinye izinkampani zifuna ukubukeka okuluhlaza, okungaqediwe, okungokwemvelo, kuyilapho ezinye zifuna ukubukeka kwe-premium okwengeziwe.Abathengi bakhulise isidingo sokupakisha noma imikhiqizo esimeme futhi bazimisele ukuyikhokhela.
Omunye umkhiqizo odinga ukulungiswa komklamo yi-rack yejazi.Kungani kufanele babe ngamapulasitiki?I-RyPax yenza isiphanyeko se-fiber esibunjiwe ukuze siqhubeke siqhela kupulasitiki osetshenziswa kanye.Esinye izimonyo, okuyimbangela eyinhloko yokungcola kwepulasitiki okusetshenziswa kanye.Ezinye izingxenye ze-lipstick, njenge-pivot mechanism, kufanele zihlale ziyipulasitiki, kodwa kungani ezinye zingenziwa ngefayibha ebunjiwe?
Cha, lena yinkinga enkulu evele ngesikhathi i-China (2017) iyeka ukwamukela ukuthengwa kwempahla kwamanye amazwe.Lokhu kwaholela ekwenyukeni kwamanani ezinto ezibonakalayo.Izintengo zezinto zokusetshenziswa zesibili nazo zikhuphuke.Umnotho wosayizi othize nokuvuthwa ungabhekana nakho ngenxa yokuthi usuvele unemifudlana yokulahlwa okufanele igaywe kabusha.Kodwa amazwe amaningi awalungile futhi adinga ukuthola amanye amazwe ukuze alahle imfucuza yawo.Thatha iSingapore njengesibonelo.Ayinayo ingqalasizinda kanye nemboni yokusingatha izinto ezigaywe kabusha.Ngakho-ke, ithunyelwa emazweni afana ne-Indonesia, iVietnam neMalaysia.Lawa mazwe awadalelwe ukubhekana nokumosha ngokweqile.
Ingqalasizinda kufanele ishintshe, okuthatha isikhathi, ukutshalwa kwezimali kanye nokwesekwa ngokomthetho.Isibonelo, i-Singapore idinga ukwesekwa kwabathengi, ukulungela ibhizinisi nokusekelwa kukahulumeni ezimbonini ezifuna izixazululo ezizinzile zokuthuthukisa umnotho oyindilinga.
Okufanele abathengi bakwamukele ukuthi kuzoba nenkathi yenguquko yokuzama izixazululo eziyingxube ezingezinhle ekuqaleni.Lena yindlela emisha esebenza ngayo.
Ukuze sinciphise isidingo sokuthutha izinto ezingavuthiwe, sidinga ukuthola ezinye izindlela zasekhaya noma zasekhaya, njengodoti okhiqizwa endaweni.Izibonelo zalokhu zihlanganisa izigayo zikashukela, eziwumthombo omuhle wefayibha esimeme, kanye nezigayo zikawoyela wesundu.Njengamanje, imfucuza yalezi zimboni ivame ukushiswa.I-RyPax ikhethe ukusebenzisa uqalo ne-bagasse, izinketho ezitholakala endaweni yethu.Lena imicu ekhula ngokushesha engavunwa izikhathi eziningana ngonyaka, imunce isikhutha ngokushesha kunanoma yisiphi esinye isitshalo, futhi ichume emazweni awonakele.
